Fort Sumter Fort Sumter was the start of the civil war. As it was conquered/crushed by the south due to Fort Sumter being on Confederate soil.

Emancipation Proclamation (Battle of Antietam) Also, known as the Battle of Sharpsburg. The Union army was following Confederate, Robert E. Lees army into Maryland. Union army General George B. McClellan launched an attack against Lees army. Despite McClellans superiority in numbers, his attempts had failed allowing Lee to counter by shifting his forces along interior lines to meet each and every challenge along the way.

Lincolns view of Reconstruction Lincoln wanted to readmit the south instead of punishing them for seceding.

11
Andrew Johnsons view of Reconstruction Andrew Johnsons approach to reconstruction, was a bit different from Lincolns, as he wanted all rebellions to pay for seceding for the union.

Radical Republican view of Reconstruction They established harsh policies toward slavery and confederacy during the civil war. They liked Andrew Johnsons approach to reconstruction at first.

13
The South after the War When the war ended all was still not well in the south as former slaves were treated differently then regular people. Meanwhile, places had to be rebuilt as they were destroyed during the civil war.

14
The North and Midwest after the war Booming with industries! Not much rebuilding up north because the war was mostly fought in the south.

15
Election of 1876 One of the tightest, disputed, and most intense elections of all time. Democrats and Republicans started making a deal in secret, this deal was known as the Compromise of 1877. This deal would make Hayes president of the United States. Hayes Tilden

17
Compromise of 1877 Democrats agreed to make Rutherford Hayes president if the republicans agreed to the following: To withdraw federal soldiers from their remaining positions in the South To enact federal legislation that would spur industrialization in the South. To appoint Democrats to patronage positions in the South. To appoint a Democrat to the Presidents Cabinet.. To the slaves in the south this deal was known to them as The Great Betrayal. Republican efforts to assure civil right to blacks had been abandoned.

Jim Crow Era Jim Crow era began from segregation (or what the north called equality). Every bathroom, restaurant, shop, library, and any other place to go besides home had a Whites Only or Color Only. Racism began with the Jim Crow Era. Fights would break out, names would be called, hate would rise.

Plessy v. Ferguson On June 7 th, 1892 Homer Plessy got on a white car but was rejected even though he was 7/8 white and 1/8 black. He was told to go get onto the color car but he refused to leave the white car and was later arrested and put in jail. He went to court but was rejected again and again and brought his case all the way up to the United States Supreme Court. Plessy was turned down by the Supreme Court by hearing that the court thought Louisiana did not violate any of the amendments.
